What's in a Name book Challenge

Bingo over at Bookin with Bingo is hosting this challenge. I thought I would give it a try.

*The Challenge: Choose one book from each of the following categories to read this year. As you read them keep track of the titles and when you have done them all, report back. There is no OFFICIAL prize other than the sense of accomplishment.....well, maybe one or two little treats to the first who finish and some surprise prizes in between now and DECEMBER. I think it will be great fun! I will put little reminders in every so often to keep people working on this!

1. A book with a "profession" in its title. Examples might include: The Book Thief, The Island of Dr. Moreau, The Historian

2. A book with a "time of day" in its title. Examples might include: Twilight, Four Past Midnight, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

3. A book with a "relative" in its title. Examples might include: Eight Cousins, My Father's Dragon, The Daughter of Time

Hi, Cheryl!You are one of the 4 who signed up with me on my blog to do this challenge. I investigated it and spoke with Annie's mom, Debi. She was very nice about it and as soon as I found out that this is where this challenge came from today (I wish I had seen her comment to you or that she had let me know sooner) I decided to contact you all and then to shut it down on my site. I still have the challenge button on my blog and it now links directly to Annie's blog. It is also where I will be doing the challenge. Good for Annie and good for me to know. I had seen the button so many places with rules and it never dawned on me that it belonged to someone else or at least was their "baby". I have in looking today, seen others similar to it but those people can do as they please. I just wanted to let people who visited my blog way back when about it, know that this is what happened. I hope you are doing it with Annie as it is a great challenge! Thanks Cheryl and come by and check out all the great giveaways I have going right now..this March Madness theme is just that--MADNESS! LOL, Bingo (AKA Karen)

Description
Life isn’t always fair, and no one knows that better than fifteen-year-old Puck. When she’s unceremoniously booted from yet another foster home, this city kid lands at DreamRoads, a rehabilitation wilderness camp for juvies. Her fellow campers include a famous pop star with a diva attitude, a geeky, “fish out of water” math whiz, and a surly gang-banger with a chip on his shoulder. The program’s steely director aims to break Puck, but she knows that every adult has a breaking point, too. Determined to defy this realm of agonizing nature hikes and soul-sucking psychobabble — even if that means manipulating four lovestruck camp counselors and the director’s dim-witted second-in-command — Puck ultimately gets much more than she bargains for in this “wondrous strange” outdoor odyssey inspired by The Bard’s most beguiling comedy.

My ReviewI had a struggle with this book. For most of the story, I found the teens at DreamRoads to be self-centered and annoying; especially Titania,…

But he can’t stay on top forever, and when he starts making mistakes on the ice, his career and family life start to crumble.

At the same time, Tom Leonard, his agent and best friend, is completely overwhelmed by a project that he and Jake were supposed to be working on together. A project that could have a huge impact on people throughout their city in need of a helping hand. As Jake sinks deeper into a funk over his lost status due to his deteriorating play and the emergence of teammate and rookie phenom Barclay Pedersen, Tom realizes he’s on his own. At the same time he rediscovers someone from his past who he never thought he’d see again. In that burgeoning relationship, Tom discove…
